摘要:In this study, A356.0 alloys were reinforced with varied percentage of alumina by liquid metallurgy route,heat treated (T6) and tested for microstructure, mechanical properties. Wear tests were conducted using Pin-on-Discapparatus at a constant sliding velocity of 1m/s and pressure of 0.35 MPa. Microstructure revealed uniform distribution ofreinforcement in the matrix resulting in improved mechanical properties and wear resistance compared to un-reinforcedmaterial. The ceramic reinforced alloys were found to have improvement in mechanical properties and wear resistancecompared to unreinforced alloy which may be attributed to the uniform distribution and improved bonding of reinforcementin the matrix.
